This is a painting I have done at this east London venue.
I was working on it for about 2 months, painting during rehearsals and public gigs.
Always painting live and from recent memories of the events, I like to treat every character and situation differently.

painting my own rorschach test.
the contemporary art card.

i have had this idea since i went to the shrink last summer.
going through the set of images made an impact on me.
my idea was to listen to the radio in between channels, looking for dramatic effect and for inspiration.
after i asked some friends to tell me what they saw and here are some of the answers.

i plan to do a conspiracy painting.

the night starts off a bit chaotic and friends come and go.

realizing the night doesn't go for conspiracies but for

music, i settle for painting my guests. as soon as jackson and

roberto meet they engage on some musical improvisation.

play to listen bellow.

november/16/09.
a night mostly dedicated to analysing the conspiracy
theories of the iconography behind the £10 note.
i am still waiting to edit the two hours of film that documents
part of the progress of this painting.
i think the acoustic and visual documentation of this
night is relevant to the understanding of this
painting. ( where understanding is required at all ).
as in many of my recent works, i paint over
unsatisfactory pieces. i use these old paintings as
under layer adding material and colourful richness to the
final result. i quite like working over some of my
old paintings.

this will be the first in a series of paintings about
conspiracy theories. the idea behind this project is
to paint based on someone else's ideas and views;
in this particular case the main participant is bongo.
i like the very rich iconography that his ideas awaken
in my mind: red roses, gates to the future, hidden
crosses and so on. painting like this, i have to adapt
to the turns in the conversations, the unexpected
visits of new minds and the luck of visual stimuli.
i find this method coherent with my party and gig
paintings in that these are based both on lack of previous
information and adaptation to surroundings,
facing the action as it comes and playing with
chance and the unexpected.

this is a painting done during interactive
theatre. for me the continuous flow of participants passing
trough my studio was very stimulating. the symbolism and colours
of the masks also added extra pictorial interest.
the playfulness of the attendees helped, or
directed, me to handle this work in a very light and
ephemeral manner.
